Pat Connaughton (MIL) Over 1.5 3PM/Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL) Over 0.5 Blocks

With the absence of Khris Middleton, the Bucks are relying on their role players for scoring more than normal during this series. Connaughton has absolutely been one of the guys to step up, and has enjoyed some success thus far. He averaged 2.2 3PM on 6.2 3PA in Round 1, and has continued that momentum, going Over 1.5 3PM in two of three this series. Last game he saw 30+ minutes, and with Allen continuing to have some shooting troubles, I think he sees a similar workload. Giannis Block has absolutely been one of the more consistent props in this series, with 2, 1, 2 this series, averaging 1.5 in the postseason. Continue to expect 40+ minutes in a must win game.

Grant Williams (BOS) Over 1.5 3PM/Jrue Holiday (MIL) Over 0.5 Steals

While you could play Williams straight at -130, DK is offering -110 odds in the SGP feature, so let's take advantage of that. Williams has made him an essential player during this postseason, showing off his intense defense, and now consistent 3-point shooting. Williams is 17-35 (48%) in the postseason, and is over this number in two of three games this series. His one miss was the last game, where he went 1-6 from beyond the arc in 35 minutes. The volume is there, Williams will continue to get great looks generated by Brown/Smart/Tatum. Jrue has a steal every game this playoffs and has been incredibly consistent there, like using that to get us to + money.
